It was previously thought that PURGE had no effect on S3. However, the Hive Metastore actually created a .Trash directory and copied the files there when a DROP TABLE was conducted from Impala. This patch just enables the existing PURGE tests for S3. There were a few reasons this wasn't working before. The paths given to the S3 client (boto3) should not have a leading "/". This has been fixed as it doesn't make a difference for HDFS if that exists or not. Also, PURGE is a pure delete whereas a regular DROP is a copy. A copy is consistent whereas a delete is only eventually consistent, so when we PURGE a table or partition, the files will still be visible for sometime after the query has completed. The tests have been modified to accomodate for this case as well.
